Blue Waters Ahead

Finally Alone

Christian
I make all kinds of plans for my time with Anastasia and my retirement. Our twin girls are running GEH along with Roz Baikey's daughter Isabel Bailey Gardner. Christina and Ella are working side by side at GEH. Stella is working with Mia and Robert is working with Elliott. Elliott Jr went into law and is working at Dads firm. Mom and dad are retired and are enjoying their children and grandchildren and great grandchildren. It is amazing how vid this family has grown. Stella had twins with her girlfriend and soon to be wife Zandra Asari. They met in a cruise ship and became inseparable. So we are having a wedding again soon. We think Robert will marry soon. Christina and Ella aren't dating anyone seriously at this point. Theodore is definitely going to be getting married once he has made his mark in the world. Laura is a doctor and is working in moms old practice now.
Anastasia
I watch as Christian sets the sail and we head out on the Anastasia Grace. The beautiful blue waters are so peaceful. We decided to take a trip and security is with us and we are taking this boat and have another one following us as a back up. It has been so romantic and we have needed this time together. We can finally forget everything happening at home. Jason is watching out for us, but he and Gail are visiting their grandchildren and Sophie. She married a college sweetheart and moved to Texas. They have two boys Jason Edward Stevens and Christian Elliott Stevens. We have new staff and new security. I see our new crew and Christian giving them instructions as usual his is always in control.
Grace
I have been worried about Christian and Anastasia taking this boat trip, but there's not much I can do about it. Carrick thinks I am being over protective. Theodore guaranteed me he has upgraded all the equipment on both boats and have done ours as well. I look at the storm clouds outside the window and they are moving in fast. I call Anastasia and get no answer.
Carrick
Grace has been trying to get hold of Anastasia and Christian all day and she is worried about them being out on the boat. The rain is coming down quite hard. I call and see if there are any distress calls, the coast guard said their are and none are from the Anastasia Grace. It finally stops raining and the clouds clear up.
Captain Smith Coast Guard
We had to change our course when the rain hit us hard, we didn't expect to see two very damaged boats on a sand bar. We called out to them both, but there was no answer from either boat. I call for additional help. One boat I can see but two and both empty. No life vests on board either one. I check and someone has spray painted the names off the boats. Someone has been taken and not just one someone. I have them check to see if they can figure out who the boats belong to. They found a phone and a message for the Coast Guard and their family. They are deliberately leaving out they names in the recording. I am thinking someone is doing the recording and keeping out of sight.
Three days later we are called again about two missing boats and ten people missing from said boats. The phones finally have been examined for fingerprints and we are shocked at whose prints are on them. Anastasia and Christian Grey. I would have thought this was due to the storm, but spray painted boat names and numbers says it isn't because of the storm. No storm damage is apparent the phones were left in a very safe place and plugged in. Plus they were both on the video they wanted us to see.
Carrick
I just got a call from the coast guard and they need me to come to their office to talk with them. They want the head of GEH security to join us.
Grace
This doesn't sound good at all. This boat trip was an impromptu trip. Christian usually takes Jason, but this time he took all his new staff. Smith, Timmons, Shepherd, Quincy, and Rogers, those were just security. He hired them suddenly and new boat crews as well. Baker, Mann, Schubert, Collins and two new captains Lewis and Clark. It is strange how he hired new staff so quickly.
Christian
I have to tell Anastasia why we had to take this trip and why in the middle of a huge storm. I couldn't tell her until we were safely off the boats and flown to an undisclosed location. A deal thankfully fell through and I felt the need to cooperate with the Feds and make sure we catch the criminals in action and we are about to. With Anastasia and I missing they believe we were killed by the undercover agents that infiltrated into their crew. Christina and Ella were being bullied and they didn't buckle to the criminals. I had to keep this from Anastasia until we got on board the boat. We are with a bunch of undercover agents, the boats we are really on are safely hidden away. The decoys were sent out and have been destroyed and disguised. Our phones with the recording are on the boat people thought we were aboard. So now the criminals are very desperate and think Anastasia and I are dead and want to force a deal with Christina, Ella and Stella. The problem is they think my daughters are going to be to frightened to say no to them after we aren't in the picture. So they have renegotiated the deal and implied they have killed us, they had ordered a hit in Anastasia and me. The Feds came to my home and pretended they were applying for jobs. Taylor is the only one that knows about this plan. But as always he has a backup plan to ensure our safety. I am glad he did, because three of the Feds were dirty. They won't be found again. All I have to say is that Anastasia knew how to shoot and hid weapons in her luggage. She didn't like we had none of our own men to protect us and again she was right. Her guns came in handy after the three played their hands. Too bad they killed the good Feds and we were left behind on without fuel or a radio. They forgot about a few things, the boat has a sail and my wife is resourceful.
Anastasia
The weather has given us an advantage over the criminals. I have no doubt Christian will be angry at my hidden weapons on the boats. I came prepared and Jason taught me and Christian never to trust any one fully. We see where it got me with my first husband. So Taylor came on board when he got wind of what was happening and placed a satellite phone and our favorite tracking devices. We had boosters due to the storm and waters we had to hide in.
